In this war, the Skymoon Army suffered heavy losses, and although the Ironforest Army had a slight advantage, they also suffered a lot.
Even if they could defeat the Skymoon Army, they were incapable of taking down Guanwu City.
Therefore, Ironforest Country decisively retreated.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
With the sounds of gongs, the Ironforest Army quickly receded.
“Kill!”
Yuan Zhan, the general of the Skymoon Army, led their army to chase after them.
The army did not turn back until they had chased them for dozens of miles.
There were 200 disciples from the Four Sects who died on the battlefield. There were less than 200 remaining.
These people were all injured and were relieved to see the Ironforest Army retreating.
Some people even sat down on the ground after suddenly relaxing.
“Haha! So excited! What an exciting war!”
Yuan Zhan’s laughter came from afar, and he soon returned to the battlefield.
However, as he swept over the disciples of the Four Sects, Yuan Zhan’s face suddenly changed.
He did not see Su Mo.
“Su Mo? Who saw Su Mo?” Yuan Zhan suddenly yelled.
Yuan Zhan thought highly of Su Mo because Su Mo was a genius! Such a genius!
If he had died, it would have been a great pity.
“General Yuan, Senior Brother Su Mo is fine. He’s over there!” Li Feng said, pointing in the distance.
As Yuan Zhan looked there, he saw Su Mo sitting cross-legged 1,000 meters away in a low-lying place where corpses were piled up like a mountain and blood was gathered.
There were at least hundreds of dead bodies beside Su Mo, and the blood had gathered into a small pool.
Yuan Zhan flew to Su Mo in just a few strides.
“Su Mo, what’re you doing here?”
Yuan Zhan asked in concern when he came to Su Mo’s side.
“Well, General Yuan, this war cost me too much Genuine Qi, so I’m recovering by sitting in meditation!”
Su Mo lied with an embarrassed smile.
“You can’t sit here while recovering!”
Yuan Zhan shook his head speechlessly, seeing that Su Mo actually sat in such a dingy place.
“This is a good Qi-rehabilitation Pill. Take it now!”
Yuan Zhan took out a elixir and handed it to Su Mo.
“Thank you, General!”
Although he did not need it, Su Mo still took it.
“Alright!”
Yuan Zhan slightly nodded, then turned around and ordered the others to return to the city, leaving some soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
The disciples from the Four Sects returned as well.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, let’s go back also!” said Li Feng, Niu Xiaohu, and Zhou Xin as they came to Su Mo’s side.
“You go first! I’ll be back later,” Su Mo said to them while shaking his head.
“Alright! We’ll go first!”
They wondered why Su Mo needed to stay here to recover, but they did not ask.
Then they returned to Guanwu City.
In the distance, Luo Qianfan also nodded to Su Mo before he left.
Su Mo was relieved after they had left. Then he used his Martial Soul to devour the Qi of blood essence around him.
At the same time, Su Mo strongly practiced the Cultivation Skill of the 5th stage Elephant’s Strength Skill.
A hour later, Su Mo got up and left.
A group of soldiers that cleared the battlefield arrived there just after.
“Hey! What happened?”
They were stunned when they saw the scene.
Hundreds of dead bodies had been all dried up.
They were all skinny and as thin as slats, looking creepy.
These soldiers had never seen such a scene, so they were all frozen.
After a long time, an older soldier shook his head and said, “Whatever! Let’s bury them!”
Subsequently, they began to clean up.
…
In the room of the Mansion of the City Governor, after taking a shower, Su Mo changed into a long blue robe and sat cross-legged in bed, pondering.
His cultivation had reached the Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm in a very short time because of devouring essence and blood, so the foundation was not solid.
Therefore, he failed to break through to Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
However, his body power had improved a lot.
As long as there was enough Spiritual Qi or Qi of blood essence, he could practice Elephant’s Strength Skill at an extremely high speed.
After absorbing hundreds of people’s Blood Qi, his realm of Elephant’s Strength Skill had reached the late-stage of the fifth layer.
Now, he had as good of a body force as a martial artist at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist.
This was the first time that Su Mo’s physical strength had surpassed his cultivation.
Su Mo lifted his left arm and slightly ran Elephant’s Strength Skill. Suddenly, a gold light burst out from his skin.
After reaching the fifth layer, not only had his body force improved a lot, but his defense force also had.
Su Mo raised his right hand, stretched out a finger, and condensed a wisp of Genuine Qi on his fingertip.
This wisp of Genuine Qi was small but it was sharp enough to pierce through iron.
The next moment, Su Mo stabbed his left arm with that finger.
Slice!
The Genuine Qi collapsed, and there was only a small white print on his arm.
“With my Body-protection Genuine Qi, my body is strong enough to resist the full attack from a martial artist at the same level!”
Su Mo nodded slightly. He was very satisfied.
He took out a storage pouch.
It belonged to the long-faced youth of the Ulti-mystery Sect. Su Mo had killed a lot of people in this war but only took one storage bag.
After opening it, he found that there were a lot of things inside.
There were scrolls, gold tickets, elixir, and Spiritual Stones.
There were a total of three scrolls. One was a cultivation method, and the other two were martial arts techniques.
That cultivation method was Medium Lv 2, so it was too low for Su Mo. He directly threw it into the storage ring.
The two martial arts techniques were both Upper Lv 2. One was Cloud-dominating Fist , and the other one was Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist .
Su Mo was more interested in Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist .
The long-faced youth’s power improved a lot when he had used this fistplay.
Su Mo gently opened Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist and looked inside.
Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist was an Upper Lv 2, post-archean martial skill.
However, its actual power was comparable to that of a top Lower Lv 3 Martial Skill!
There were a total of four moves:
First, Tiger Roaring Forest!
Second, Tiger Roaring and Dragon Crying!
Third, Dragon Conquering the World!
Fourth, Dragon Battle in Star Field!
This fistplay was overbearing with the power of a dragon and a tiger. If one could practice it to the Great Completion Realm, his fist force would turn into tigers or dragons, and it would have an imposing and invincible momentum.
After reading the introduction, Su Mo was shocked.
Although Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist and Divine Wind Swordplay were both in the Upper Lv 2, the former was definitely more valuable.
Su Mo did not expect it to be such an extraordinary fistplay.
“It seems that guy didn’t do it well. His fistplay was, at most, in the Minor Completion Realm!”
Su Mo murmured.
